- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1.5 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumbers and tomatoes.
Peel the cucumbers if desired, then slice them into thin rounds. For extra-large cucumbers, cut the rounds into halves or quarters.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, fresh dill (finely chopped), lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the sliced cucumbers and tomatoes to the bowl of dressing, and toss gently to coat all the vegetables evenly.

Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with a small sprig of dill, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
